Chapter 134: Chapter 128: Beneath the Immortal Slaying Sword, Speak Not of the Celestial Mandate!

Ning Xunqiu raised his hand and waved, his Lifebound Sword, the "Sword of Freedom," slicing out a brilliant silver-white beam. However, this silver-white beam instantly shattered like fragile porcelain under the crushing weight of the "Great Seal."

The "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" trembled violently under this earth-shaking force, as if the entire scroll might crumble and dissolve into nothingness at any moment.

Yet, the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map," having formed its own world and being reinforced by the Great Fortune of Heaven and Earth, could still barely hold on for a short time, preventing an immediate collapse.

"People call you the Loose Cultivator Ancestor, so you arrogantly assume you can equate yourself with me?" The Venerable of Dao and Virtue spoke coldly.

Ning Xunqiu’s expression remained calm as he silently activated his Magical Power. He had long seen that the figure before him, the Venerable of Dao and Virtue, was merely a thought manifesting, not his true form.

Or perhaps.

The true form could not come.

Boom!

On the "Great Seal," the Magical Power surged like a tide, shaking the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" to the brink of collapse.

"Once more, I ask you, where is the Mountain and River Treasure Seal?!" The voice of the Venerable of Dao and Virtue echoed in the air.

Ning Xunqiu remained silent; naturally, he could not hand over the Mountain and River Seal. As an Innate Divine born of the Mountain and River Realm’s Martial Dao, handing over the Mountain and River Seal was equivalent to forfeiting his own life.

Seeing Ning Xunqiu stubbornly refuse to surrender the Mountain and River Seal, the Venerable of Dao and Virtue suddenly felt a blazing anger:

"Defiant wretch! You dare to delay the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth for personal gain, causing disasters to persist. You are defying the Celestial Mandate and opposing the world’s people!"

"Celestial Mandate?"

At these words, Ning Xunqiu couldn’t help but laugh heartily, his laughter echoing across the vast sky, filled with disdain and ridicule.

"An illusion merely born of thought, yet you dare to claim to be the Celestial Mandate?!"

"Hmph, still holding strong!"

The Venerable of Dao and Virtue glared at Ning Xunqiu, sneering repeatedly: "What other tactics do you have? Just unleash them; I, as a humble follower of Dao, will accept them all."

Whoosh!

The Lifebound Sword, the "Immortal Slaying Sword," transformed into a jet black ray, piercing through the motionless form of the Venerable of Dao and Virtue.

The Venerable of Dao and Virtue paused in mid-air, then shattered like a broken bubble, dissolving into specks of light that dissipated between the heavens and the earth.

Ning Xunqiu gazed at the "Immortal Slaying Sword" in his palm, which was gradually being extinguished. The nineteen points of pure spirituality had faded away, and he calmly said:

"Before the Immortal Slaying Sword, speak no of Celestial Mandate!"

...

[This scene left the surrounding Great Gods momentarily aghast, too shocked for words.]

[For the first time in this world, someone using merely weak Magical Power, aided by a Supreme Treasure, caused the fall of the exalted "Holy Thought," an act truly eye-opening.]

["Isn’t this the Slaughter Treasure forged by the ’Ancestral Dragon’ with Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi from the past?"]

["How could he possibly harness the Heaven and Earth Qi?!"]

[The Great Gods were full of curiosity, as "Heaven and Earth Qi" has its proper owners, never easily obtainable and manageable.]

[For example, in the Nether Heaven, a single point of Death Qi was born innately, its breath alone, for ordinary Qi Cultivators, was akin to a deadly intrusion, to be avoided at all costs.]

[Such Magical Treasures are meticulously refined by Qi Cultivators according to their own "Dao." Even if another obtains the treasure, simply removing the "Restriction" won’t allow them to use it; it must be dismantled and refined anew.]

[Qi Cultivators’ methods vary widely; to wield another’s Magical Treasure with one’s own power, one must have the "Magical Power of the Original Owner," as elders often imbue treasures with strands of Spiritual Magical Power for protection.]

["Heaven and Earth Qi" is the same way, even more challenging. First, one must cultivate the Innate Spirit within to recognize the profound mysteries.]

[Even Ying Long stood puzzled nearby.]

[For "Divines," Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi is tantamount to poison, capable of dissolving Magical Power, Primordial Spirit, and Spirituality, one of the few things in existence able to obliterate the "Taiyi" Dao Fruit.]

Other than his mad brother, who would dare touch it easily? And now, another such audacious, brazen madman has appeared!]

[Indeed, the Returning Void Heaven’s method of forging "Spirit Weapons" is incredibly mystical, even crafting Lifebound Spiritual Soldiers from the fearsome "Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi." However, regrettably, as the sword’s Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi extinguished the Venerable of Dao and Virtue’s thought, its power was also depleted, rendering it useless.]

[Yet, the "Immortal Slaying Sword" had fulfilled its mission, and Ning Xunqiu’s strategic objective was achieved.]

[Ning Xunqiu’s gaze slowly scanned the group.]

[The Three Sect Gods were suddenly startled, instantly putting distance between themselves and Ning Xunqiu, their hearts anxious and unsure if Ning Xunqiu still hid the soul-stirring "Immortal Slaying Sword".]

[A divine body is difficult to fall, but if they are careless and injured by this Supreme Treasure, their origin will suffer greatly and their cultivation will plummet.]

[Ning Xunqiu saw the situation and chuckled lightly, then sat cross-legged to begin restoring his magical power. Behind him, a bronze sword followed like a shadow, quietly accompanying him.]

[The Three Sect Gods looked at Ning Xunqiu in the Immortal Slaying Sword Map, exchanged glances, though suspicious in their hearts, knowing he might be feigning composure, yet none acted rashly.]

[This matter is significant, and it’s best to leave the decision to the "Three Saints".]

[Shortly after the thoughts of the "Venerable of Dao and Virtue" were extinguished, the divine true bodies from "Blue Radiance Heaven" and "Ten Thousand Treasures Heaven" descended from the sky, looking hurried, seemingly facing urgent matters, and without much to say, they set to suppress the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map".]

[Under the mighty power of the two divine beings, the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" quickly dissipated by more than half.]

[Ning Xunqiu quietly waited for them to delve into the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map", at that moment suddenly opened his eyes.]

[The magical power within him burst forth like a river breaching its banks, surging vigorously, pushing the power of the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" to an unprecedented extreme. At the end of the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map", a jet black obelisk stood majestically.]

[Simultaneously, Ning Xunqiu and Dongfang Mingyue, one man and one sword, shot two sword lights onto the true bodies of "Blue Radiance Heaven" and "Ten Thousand Treasures Heaven", yet such injuries were merely a small crack to them.]

["One sheep..." Accompanied by this inexplicable whisper, the Chaos Consciousness from the Modo Realm descended!]

["Blue Radiance Heaven" and "Ten Thousand Treasures Heaven’s" primordial spirits at this instant fell into endless slumber. Meanwhile, the jet black obelisk violently shook while suppressing the two divine primordial spirits, causing more chaotic consciousness to awaken, swiftly engulfing everything.]

[Ning Xunqiu’s face was as pale as paper, looking at the "divine true body" resembling a dead thing within the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map", couldn’t help but a flash of joy in his heart: "You have paid the price for underestimating the enemy."]

["How is that possible?!" The Three Sect Gods and Ying Long were utterly stunned, exclaiming incredulously.

"Blue Radiance, Wanbao’s primordial spirits have been suppressed?!"]

"I won."]

Ning Xunqiu looked up, he slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping around.

The Three Saints were fully suppressing the enraged Ancestral Dragon, among the Three Sect holy divines, the "Profound Yellow Celestial Venerable" had to restrain his Master Liuli, in this way, he only needed to face the last divine being— "Xuanling Heaven".

And after this confrontation, he was seventy percent confident, believing this last divine being would never act lightly.

Although the process did not entirely unfold according to his script, yet—

The Qingxu Realm finally welcomed a perfect ending!

Ning Xunqiu only awaited negotiation with the Three Sects, then, like the "Tathagata Buddha of the Western Heaven", he could divide and rule.

From now on, he could cultivate with peace of mind.

"The light vessel has passed through tens of thousands of mountains—"]

Ning Xunqiu spread his arms, the shadow in his heart completely dispersed.

"Hahaha."]

However, an unexpected occurrence arose.

Ning Xunqiu suddenly looked up toward the sky, where an unimaginable majestic figure descended.

"Is there still an Otherworldly Divine’s spy here?"]

"This child cannot remain."]

The entity glanced at the depths of the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" at the "Sword of Chaos", a thought stirred.

Rumble—]

In the sky, a vast and mighty purple divine thunder suddenly descended from above, like the wrath of a celestial god, instantly obliterating the already shaky "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" into nothingness between heaven and earth.

All that was Ning Xunqiu was likewise reduced to ashes under the purple divine thunder.

[The primordial spirits of "Blue Radiance Heaven" and "Ten Thousand Treasures Heaven" escaped from the "Sword of Chaos".]

[Hurriedly shot up towards the sky.]

[A dignified and loud voice, suddenly echoed from the nine heavens above, resounding in the ears of all beings: "Otherworldly Divine beings unite across realms, all celestial divines, quickly return to positions, defend against external enemies!"]
